## About
In folk practice, dark candles have long marked banishing and protective work, and black in particular is set aside for cutting away rather than calling in. Yet a candle, in the end, is only ever what the person lighting it brings to the flame.These slender tapers are hand-dipped, layer upon layer, from pure beeswax colored a deep matte black rather than glossed to shine. The cotton wick burns with the clean, steady flame real beeswax gives, with no paraffin filler and no synthetic scent, and a faint, warm honey smell rises beneath the color as the candle burns down. Pure wax is dense, so they burn more slowly than a thinner commercial taper. Beeswax has lit altars, vigils and quiet rooms since antiquity, prized above tallow for its clean burn and lack of smoke.DetailsSold as a pair, each taper about 20 cm100% beeswax, colored matte blackCotton wick; no paraffin, no synthetic scentHow to useSet the taper on a heat-safe holder, away from drafts and anything that might catch, and never leave it burning unattended. If the working calls for a full taper, let it burn down its own length rather than snuffing it partway. Sold as a curiosity; no medical or scientific claims are made. Light one when something needs to end.
